Living in a metropolis, enjoying the prosperity of tall buildings and bustling traffic, and also suffering from the various disadvantages behind the prosperity. Among them, noise has become one of the main problems affecting people's lives, especially living in a house with poor sound insulation, which is even more annoying to live! So when you encounter a house with poor sound insulation, how should you decorate it to solve the noise problem? For the management of noise problems, the corresponding processing plan must be made according to different noise sources !
For ordinary families, common noise sources include: street, neighbors (next door, upstairs, downstairs), homes, etc. Next, I will propose some different treatment plans based on different noise sources. You can refer to them!
. Street facing:
For houses facing the street and near the road, the biggest source of noise is traffic outside the window. I have lived in a house near the expressway for more than two years, and the traffic on this expressway is also quite high. Basically, if you don’t close the window when you sleep, the traffic will keep ringing in your ears, which is really a mess.
If your house is also facing the street, then when decorating, you must seal the balcony and use hollow soundproof glass ! Then all the exterior windows are also replaced with hollow soundproof glass windows. Generally, the noise from the road comes in through the windows. If the hollow soundproof glass is used to isolate the windows, the interior will be much quieter.
In addition to hollow glass, thick curtains are also of great help to sound insulation. If you don’t have the conditions to change the window, you can also try changing into thick curtains.
. Next door neighbor:
Nowadays, commercial housing is basically one elevator and multiple households. In this way, the distance between neighbors is often separated by a large door and a partition wall. If you encounter a noisy neighbor, the noise is also annoying problem.
For noise from the same layer, it mainly depends on the adjacent room type. For example, the noise from the door to the door can be reduced by installing a sound-insulating door; at the same time, it is recommended to install a threshold stone that can cover the door page, so that the door crack under the door after closing the door can also be blocked by the threshold stone. In addition, the sound-insulating sealing ring can greatly improve the sound insulation effect of the door!
If there is noise from the neighbor next door that shares the same wall, then when decorating, lay a layer of sound insulation cotton on the wall, and then the wall can be equipped with wall panel or wood veneer, and use sound insulation material to improve the sound insulation effect.
. Upstairs:
Upstairs is too noisy! This is the most concentrated noise issue discussed by netizens. There are even methods such as "killing enemies with 1,000 enemies and hurting themselves" to give a method such as building shock. As neighbors, they look up and see each other. Unless they change houses, it will be really unsolvable!
To alleviate the noise problem upstairs, we can increase the sound insulation effect of the ceiling by installing sound insulation cotton on the ceiling and making a large flat roof on the ceiling, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the building.
The best way to communicate with the neighbors upstairs is to communicate with each other in a friendly manner, telling the other party not to make noise when it is time to rest at night and reduce noise (such as moving tables and chairs), but don’t be too pretentious. It’s 8 o’clock in the evening when you have fun. You say you want to sleep and don’t make noise. No one can communicate with you.
. Downstairs:
Normally, the noise downstairs is difficult to transmit to your own home, but now many developers have too thin floor slabs and low density, resulting in serious noise between upstairs and downstairs; for noise downstairs, thick tiles can be used to improve the finish surface of the floor at home and weaken the sound insulation problems caused by thin floor slabs;
. If the floor is laid with wooden floors, you can level the layer and make it thicker, then add a layer of sound insulation pad before installing the wooden floor. Then, if you feel the noise downstairs after moving in, you can also lay a carpet to increase sound insulation.
. Home:
Family habits are not uniform. The elderly like to go to bed early and young people like to stay up late. There will be sound insulation problems between different spaces. In this regard, it is recommended to install a door with better sound insulation to improve sound insulation between spaces.
In high-rise buildings, the sewer pipes at home are actually a place that is prone to noise. The sound of flushing in the toilet in the middle of the night is easily transmitted to your home through the sewer pipe; in order to avoid noise from the sewer pipe, it is recommended to pack and seal the sewer pipe when decorating the bathroom.
Then, the appliances at home are also prone to noise, such as washing machines and air conditioners.
For washing machines, if they are uneven and dehydrated, they will easily make noises. Generally, it is not recommended to wash clothes before going to bed. In this way, the clothes must be stuffed in the washing machine overnight after washing. It is recommended to turn on the time washing function and set the time to wash when you are about to get up in the morning, so that you will not be able to rest and avoid being stuffed with clothes.
. If the space is mainly because the high-power air conditioner is very noisy. Therefore, if you install high-power air conditioners such as central air conditioners, it is recommended not to install the external unit near the bedroom window; then the disrepaired air conditioner will also be noisy. If you find that the old air conditioner affects the rest, it is recommended to repair or replace it.
Different noise sources have different management methods. Most of the noise in life comes from neighborhoods, especially real estate projects with poor sound insulation, and even the noise may be transmitted across several floors! Through decoration, the noise problem cannot be completely solved, and it can only alleviate the noise. Therefore, the best way is to communicate friendly between neighbors; if you really encounter neighbors with poor quality, there is no other way except to endure or move!
